Odd habits

[Llama]

I have several odd habits. I call them odd not because I think they are, but because when meeting new people they are quick to point them out.

I will give an example.

When eating a meal, I eat one thing until it is done before proceeding to the next thing. Something as simple as a burger and fries. I have to eat the burger, then the fries. There is no deviation. To make matters worse, I didn't even know I did it this way. It is not something I plan before it happens.

I'm kinda like that but I have to eat everything equally so it's all done around the same time.

Once you have a hold of a giant juicy burger loaded with toppings, you better hold on tight and not let go. You gotta hold it together to keep it from making a mess. I see nothing odd about this.

I have a spreadsheet... filled with names...

PS. Some people feel it's bad way of spending my time here.... I say... they chose to piss me off... fuck 'em...

The food doesn't matter... It can be anything. You should see me at Thanksgiving.. Or a pot-luck at work...

My grandmother was one of the smartest people I've ever known but she had like fifty batshit crazy superstitions. She could help you with your calculus homework but if you opened an umbrella in the house she'd slap the shit out of you.

I think that's pretty normal. I do the same thing, only I eat the fries first. Always save the best till last

I put the fries in the burger.

Sounds like some minor OCD.

Luckily, I'm completely normal in every sense of the word.

 

[lolifoxgirl]

I pace when I make phone calls.

This is what I do. People around me are always surprised and fear that I won't be able to eat the burger.

They are mistaken.

I put the fries in the burger.

Yup...

I do as well. Also trying to break the cycle of fries before burger, that's been a hard one. What I'd most like to conquer is my inability to keep from checking my front door lock multiple times before I leave for work.

I always check if my fly is up in public. Give myself a sly feel...yep she's all good.

Very minor. Real, full blown OCD is no fun.

Right! Fear not, people

Yes, I always eat one type of food at a time, drove my family nuts growing up.

I (And my Dad and Uncle) have this uncanny knack to stand exactly in the spot that blocks traffic in a home.

I pace when I talk on the phone. Shake (not sure if its the right word) my left foot when sitting. And move my hands when I talk.

I type i and ESC when typing often, as a result of using vim way too much.

I sometimes accidentally try to perform Soul Calibur moves when playing other fighting games.

Not really sure if it's odd...
but I always grab handfuls of hardware as in bolts, flat washers, lock washers, zip screws and stuff like that... I usually 9 times out of 10 will randomly grab just enough.
Totally unintentionally...

And I don't mean like 5 or 6 something easy to eyeball...

 

[ResO]

I pace when I make phone calls.

Aww, and I thought when I call you that I simply take your breath away. I see how it is now

I don't let people put shoes on a table or counter. It's a side effect of growing up in an Italian household.

I eat the fries first, then the burger.

I constantly check to make sure my fly is up.

I won't let a door fully close behind me if the room I'm entering doesn't have another exit.

I'll.only ride in glass elevators.

I won't keep emails in my inbox unless I have to. People with 15k emails drive me nuts.

I could go on for days.

I make my cats sleep outside!

Jon from the forums does this too, I always tease him about it when we eat together when he is in town. I call it sequential eating. I don't see anything wrong with it though.

I have an almost phobia of phone calls. Seriously, calling up my best friend on his birthday gets my palms sweaty.

And not because I'm socially awkward - I can walk up to any stranger and comfortably make conversation face to face.
